La Lechuza

The history of La Lechuza began centuries ago in Mexican and Texan folklore. Legend has it that the Barn Owl was a witch who was exposed for practicing evil magic and the townspeople decided to assassinate her because of it.  

In order to get her revenge, she returned as a very creepy ladybird. She was a shapeshifter that could appear as an ordinary witch during the day and then transform into an enormous bird with a woman’s face.

Many have given a variety of descriptions of what La Lechuza appears to look like; many say La Lechuza was as tall as seven feet along with a 15-foot wingspan while others say she was a small bird but both with the face of an old woman.

It is reported that La Lechuza was seen flying through the air or perching on trees, looking for people to kill. She is known for only coming out during the night so if you ever find yourself walking around and hear a bird screech at night, that’s an omen that La Lechuza is wandering near.

What La Lechuza does for exact revenge varies in the version of the story, though most suspect that La Lechuza carries away her unsuspecting prey to her lair. She often lures her targets out of their houses by making baby crying sounds or by swooping down on cars. Her most common prey are children or drunk people as they are the most vulnerable.

Various methods are claimed to protect you against La Lechuza. Such methods are: tying seven knots in a rope and hanging it by the front door, throwing salt and chili powder into the bird’s face, and finally shooting the bird.

La historia de La Lechuza comenzó hace siglos y tiene sus raíces en el folclore mexicano y tejano. La leyenda cuenta que la Lechuza era una bruja que fue expuesta por practicar la magia mala. La gente del pueblo no estaba contenta con saber eso, al saber de sus acciones decidieron asesinarla. 

Para representar su venganza, regresó como una espeluznante dama pájaro. De hecho, se puede cambiar formas que pueden aparecer como una bruja ordinaria durante el día y después como un pájaro enorme con rostro de mujer. En otras palabras, la lechuza es una gran dama búho que mata personas por venganza. 

Muchos han dado una variedad de descripciones de lo que aparece la lechuza; muchos dicen que la lechuza es tan alta como siete pies junto con una envergadura de 15 pies con una cara de mujer muy vieja. Otros dan una descripción de que La Lechuza es un pájaro pequeño con apariencia de cara de anciana.  

Se informa que la lechuza se ve volando por el aire o posándose en los árboles, buscando personas para matar. Ella es conocida por solo salir durante las noches. Si alguna vez te encuentras caminando y escuchas un chillido de pájaro por la noche, eso es un presagio de que La Lechuza está vagando cerca y buscando a alguien a quien aprovecharse y atacar. 

Hay varios métodos para poder protegerse contra La Lechuza, como por ejemplo atar siete nudos en una cuerda y colocarla sobre la puerta principal, arrojar sal y chile en polvo en la cara del pájaro, y por último dispararle al pájaro. 

Lo que La Lechuza hace para vengarse varía a través de las narraciones de la historia, aunque la mayoría hace referencia a que La Lechuza se lleva a su presa desprevenida a su guarida. A menudo atrae a sus objetivos, más comúnmente niños o personas borrachas. Ya que son los más vulnerables, ella los saca afuera de sus casas haciendo sonidos de llanto de bebé o lanzándose en picado sobre automóviles a altas horas de la noche.
